They print this in the PAPER??!! Oh, my. If they did that around here, there would be no room for the real news. Our police reports are full of drug busts, shootings, knifings, assaults, burglaries, much of it gang related. I can't imagine reporting speeding tickets. What an innocent place you must live in.

Yep, we're VERY small town!! The front page news lists what the commissioners meeting consisted of. We don't have much major news in a town of 2,600!!!! If we get a new police car that's big stuff!!! At least it won't be put on the front page and I'll be listed with all of the other people who got tickets so I won't stand out. They also have a list of all the people who are arrested and all of the court cases filed and seen in court. They used to list who was in the hospital but HIPAA put a stop to that. Very small town!!! Oh, and they only print the paper twice a week! There's just not enough news!!!

One of the town papers had an article in it that the Wrights of Hobart (Jessie and Steve) were entertaining family over the weekend.

I have to scan our newspaper. The crime section goes into detail about how the driver (and yes, they give the name and address) responds to different parts of the alcohol test.

There was a real crime in the town next to mine a year or so ago. The thief shot and killed a young state trooper. They knew he was hiding in a house nearby. Oddly, the house burned down the next day.
